8 weeks here. Be prepared for a long weight... Marvell need to sort their stuff out, clearly Globalscale are not the right people to be partnering with, certainly not for the dev-kits and onesy twosy orders...

214	General Category / Application ideas and development Q/A / Re: Anybody here successfully running apache2/php5 on ShPlg?	on: August 11, 2009, 10:46:05 AM
Have you considered Lighttpd rather than Apache? It works just fine with PHP, and does pretty much everything Apache does without the bloat. It's good enough that Google use it to host YouTube and it's also powering Wikipedia... http://www.lighttpd.net/ I have it runnning on my plug just fine, and it was MUCH simplier to setup than Apache, with it's convoluted configuration files...

215	General Category / Application ideas and development Q/A / Re: Has Anyone Built A Live CD for Development?	on: August 08, 2009, 05:30:06 AM
I'm a total newbie in the world of linux compiling let alone cross compiling... I downloaded this, installed it, updated it, and now mooching around to see whats in there. Where is the cross compiler, and how do I get started with it? A Wiki page on how to cross compile a Hello World application would be a excellent start methinks...

Posted these tips in the Wiki: http://plugcomputer.org/plugwiki/index.php/Freeing_up_space_on_the_plug#Other_Space_Saving_Tips If anyone has any others, post there here, and I'll pop them in the Wiki, or tuck in and update the wiki youself.

219	General Category / General Discussion / Space saving on the plug	on: August 05, 2009, 12:41:43 AM
I know many people run their root filesystems on extrernal SD, or USB HDD, but I am still perservering with using the onboard flash to store my root filesystem. Anyone got any tips for freeing up space? Whilst I'm not at a critical level (30% of the flash left), it's nice to ask these things in advance. My Tips: I found out about the strip command (in binutils package), that strips debugging symbols from files, making them smaller, thats a VERY handy tip that saved me quite alot of space (I ran it on everything in /usr/bin!!!) I also found out I can do the following to show the size of a directories sub directories (sorted): Code: du -sm * \| sort -n Any other tips for saving space? Anything that can be removed from the Ubuntu filesystem to save flash space?

220	Linux Stuff / Kernel / Re: 2.6.30.4 new release	on: August 03, 2009, 05:03:24 PM
It is 32768, perhaps the readme needs to be reworded, as this caused me some confusion, and I had already expected it not to recover gracefully after a reboot because that file was not present on my system....

221	Linux Stuff / Kernel / Re: 2.6.30.4 new release	on: August 03, 2009, 04:36:28 PM
Couple of problems here. 1/ http://sheeva6.with-linux.com/sheeva/ does not point to a valid domain, so the script just downloads a openDNS index.html file and then fails. I had to comment out the wget for this line. 2/ I don't have a /etc/sysctl.d/10-process-security.conf !!!!

222	General Category / General Discussion / Re: Received yours yet?	on: August 03, 2009, 08:42:26 AM
Got mine today Ordered 5th June Received 3rd August 2 Months leadtime currently. I was tempted to change my order to a UK version, but didn't want to confuse things/delay things. For the sake of an adapter or a figure8 lead, it was simply not worth the hassle. (the UK version was also slightly more for some reason). That said, if anyone knows where to buy the plastic thingy that I could convert a US one to a UK one, I would be grateful :-) Perhaps Globalscale will read this, and feel shameful they failed their estimated leadtime by 4 weeks and underperformed on the email customer service, and might pop one in the post for me

223	General Category / General Discussion / Re: My Plug Plans ...	on: August 01, 2009, 02:38:44 AM
I like to understand how things work, so might update uBoot manually. Is there a good concise guide on how to do this?. I also seem to recall reading the non marvel kernels don't have power management. Is this true? As thats pretty big omission and a reason why I might pass on updating.

224	General Category / General Discussion / My Plug Plans ...	on: July 31, 2009, 10:29:39 AM
Just need a little guidance, make sure I have not lost the plot. I'm gonna update my plug when it arrives. From what I can tell from the large amounts of disparate information, I have 2 options (perhaps more if I want to move away from Ubuntu). Method 1: Update the current install manually. ie: fix the broken bits from here: http://www.openplug.org/plugwiki/index.php/New_Plugger_How_To update the packages: " apt-get update ; apt-get dist-upgrade ; apt-get autoremove" update the kernel using this: http://www.openplug.org/plugwiki/index.php/Install_Prebuilt_Kernels_From_sheeva.with-linux.com Method 2: use Sheevaplug installer - alpha-6. So now my questions. Will these 2 methods leave me roughly in the same position? Is there advantages or disadvantages with either? Is there anything else I need to do before I start configuring and install my specific stuff? It's it recommended to update the bootloader? My last question is kernel related. My understanding is the latest 2.6.30 kernels contain MOST of the stuff the Marvell supplied kernel has, what exactly will I miss out on if I update?

Quote from: mgillespie on July 08, 2009, 05:16:44 PM Ordered mine 5th June, was told June 29, but this fell through, and now they are telling me July 13-17 Globalscale are a shambles (a quick search on these forums will reveal the extent of peoples problems with them), it's good to see alternative suppliers appearing, as bad companies don't deserve to survive in todays climate, and people will switch elsewhere as soon as there is an alternative. Now been told July 27th as my ship date. Seems the 4 week leadtime has stretched into a 7 week leadtime..
